So, what have I been doing for the past.. month? Who cares? You do, silly, that's why you're here!
Lets see, first off I rolled out a new version of my site that I've had on the "to do" list for the past 5 months or so, granted I was out of the country for one of those months, and that turned out to be pretty easy. Problem is, once I get rolling I don't stop, if I can get rolling to being with that is. So that took about 3 weeks, but for now I'm done updating it. When you're looking at the backend code for something for long enough, eventually you start thinking "why am I still doing this?!".
Then there's school, I've got two absolutely retarded projects that I hate for one of my classes that I would seriously rather do high school Math again than this pointless crap. It's a graphic design class, and I'm definitely not a graphic designer. I'm not an artist, I'm a web designer. Talk to a "real" artist for 5 minutes and you'll know the difference. They're very intense, very strange and see everything 10000 different ways, and I just can't do that. Needless to say, this course is a prerequisite for the next semester of my course, so I intend to simply do my best to pass and that's it. Actually trying gives me a headache, literally.
Then there's deviantART. I'm very addicted to that community, especially it's forums. I do believe I have an actual addiction to being a forum whore, and apparently saying that is the first step to recovery.. so lets hope it works. The "goal" is to get 10,000 posts, I don't know why I want 10k posts, but for some reason I can barely get anything else done until I get to that point. I used to envy and respect those with 5 digit post counts, but now I realize it's not everything I thought it would be. That said, I am at just over 9000 now, so it shouldn't take too long for this stupid addiction to end.
And then there's video games. I blame Xbox Live, really. I achieved 705 gamerscore playing Fable 2 offline (because I couldn't connect to Live for some reason), had beat the entire campaign and won most of the achievements too. Then I recovered my account, and it deleted everything. I still had my game, and all the saves, but every achievement was gone. That pissed me off, so I made another game this past weekend (long weekend woot!) and beat it again just so I could get all the achievements back. I think I'm back up to 600-ish, and I'm at the point where you get Reaver through his "back passage" to the ship, so that's another 100 right there. I don't know why that pissed me off, but I found creating an evil character was very good for the anger this whole fiasco caused me.
Lastly, there's life. My friends, some of whom are also in school as well, are always wanting to get together and go for drinks (or to play GoW2). I really, really hate to blow them off, it makes me feel like a bad friend, but I am dead serious when I say that I need my beauty sleep. I'm not a morning person, and have sworn at (subconsciously I might add!) and broken alarm clocks in the past that have woken me up prematurely. Fortunately there's coffee, but not until I get to school.
Aapis is the Riotous sort,
Whose birthday today we've cause to extort.
So we'll give him a kiss,
And be sure we don't miss,
Because he is such a good sport!
